Carrie Bickmore's rumoured lover Tommy Little falls ill and requires an IV drip after running for her charity event in South Africa - as video footage of him vomiting on a tree emerges
He trained hard to compete in the Big Five marathon in South Africa over the weekend to raise money for his rumoured lover Carrie Bickmore 's Beanies 4 Brain Cancer charity.
And while Tommy Little finished the long-distance foot race, it came at a price.
The radio funnyman revealed he busted a calf muscle and 'spewed' post the 42.195km run.
Tommy was filmed throwing up on a tree after the gruelling course.
'When I stop cramping I'll post some better content, but just wanted to let the people who are following along know that we survived the Big 5 Marathon! he wrote in an Instagram post.

'I came in 22nd place and all I needed to do to achieve that was bust a calf muscle and spew to the point of needing an IV drip post race.'
Tommy added that the donations he received, which will go towards Carrie's charity, was what kept him going as he almost quit 3km in.
'It was humbling and brilliant and if it wasn't for all you beautiful people that donated I absolutely would've given up 3kms in. Thank you. Love you. I'm gonna sleep and will post more tomorrow ❤️' he said.
Carrie and Tommy were joined by several other celebrities in the marathon, including Sam Wood, Olivia Molly Rogers, Merrick Watts, Ned Brockman, Ellidy Pullin, Laura Enever and Trent Cotchin.
Ahead of the event, Carrie broke down in tears after reading a heartbreaking letter from a mother who is battling brain cancer.
The veteran presenter, 44, shared a clip to social media on Saturday in which she became emotional as she read out the sad letter she had received.
'I hope this letter finds you well. I am Courtney and I have had brain cancer since I was 34, nine years,' Carrie read out.
I used to be a nurse and I loved it, but now I am the patient. When I woke up at hospital, I was told the diagnosis and my life expectancy was one to two years.
'I laughed at the doctors and told them they were wrong, told them I was leaving. I have a boy who is five years old now. Never once did I think I was going to die.
'This diagnosis has changed me for the better... I see more beauty in the world now.'
Carrie's voice was heard breaking as she told fans it is important to continue to do charity work to support people like Courtney.
'It was heartbreaking but so inspiring and another reminder why we are here. You'll be there with me every step Courtney,' Carrie said.
'Please donate if you can, even just a few dollars. The link is in my bio. You CAN make a difference.'
Last month, Carrie told Confidential that the big five African animals 'will make me run fast, that is for sure'.
'Last year they had to delay the start of the race because there was a lion roaming around. I've decided not to read up too much about it because I've decided if I read about it, I won't go,' she said.
'I'm just going to go there with my eyes closed and open them at the start line and see what happens.'
Carrie set up her charity after her late husband, Greg Lange, lost his battle with brain cancer.
She announced she would continue Greg's legacy with the charity during her Gold Logie acceptance speech in 2015.

Molly-Mae Hague wears dazzling diamond jewellery on a low key shopping trip in Cheshire - but there's ONE £600k ring still missing despite reconciliation with Tommy Fury
Molly-Mae Hague was spotted still without her £600k engagement ring as she headed out on a low key shopping trip in Cheshire on Friday. The influencer, 26, who recently reconciled with former fiancé Tommy Fury, also 26, has not been seen with the sparkler since their split last summer, with neither confirming if the engagement is now back on. Molly-Mae looked effortlessly stylish on the outing in a black co-ord from her own Maebe collection which she wore with tinted shades and £700 Hermes sandals. The beauty, who got engaged in Ibiza in July 2023, accessorised with diamond bracelets, a £60K Philipe Lady Nautilus watch and numerous rings, but her wedding finger was noticeably bare. Molly-Mae appeared in great spirits as she shopped in home wear store before stopping to pose for selfies with fans in the carpark. Following their engagement ROX Managing Director and Co-founder Kyron Keogh estimated Tommy spent a whopping £600,000 on the oval-cut diamond band. He told MailOnline: 'Molly-Mae's engagement ring features an exquisite oval-shaped diamond that looks like 6 carats, and it if it's high colour and clarity, it could be worth an estimated £600k. 'Oval diamonds offer a fresh take on the classic diamond solitaire, making them a unique choice for those who want to break away from tradition and stand out. 'This cut has become increasingly sought after with celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian and Hailey Bieber choosing this style.' Molly and Tommy shocked their fans last summer when they announced that they had split, with Tommy later revealing it was down to his drinking. With a source telling The Sun that they are in the 'honeymoon period again' and their slow reconciliation has seen them enjoy several family trips with daughter Bambi, two. But the publication has also reported that a feud is brewing between the two families over the couple's decision to give their relationship another go. In the latest episodes of Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, Molly-Mae's siter Zoe expressed her doubts over Tommy openly. And this in turn has reportedly angered Tommy's family including his brother Tyson and his wife Paris. Molly and Tommy shocked their fans last summer when they announced that they had split, with Tommy later revealing it was down to his drinking A source told the publication: 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy. 'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up. 'To them Tommy is a stand up guy, a good, hard working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.' The insider added that Paris is confused as to why Zoe would try to hinder the family getting back together. Tyson, Tommy and Molly-Mae Hague have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Zoe said of Tommy on the documentary: 'I do worry for her and my relationship with her if they did get back together. 'I think she potentially needs to look into the future and think about what's best for her and Bambi. She's got a long, rocky road ahead, unfortunately.' It comes after Molly-Mae and Tommy looked every inch the happy family as they enjoyed a very lavish 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. After months of rumours that the couple had rekindled their romance following their split in August, the pair finally went Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap. And Tommy has clearly been making the effort since their shock split as he whisked his family off to a 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. Sharing an array of snaps to her Instagram Stories, Molly shared some sweet moments from the mini break as she took a dip in the pool with Bambi. Elsewhere she shared a snippet of her very lavish accommodation which featured huge L-shaped couches and large emperor beds. And Bambi appeared to settle in straight away as she was pushing her toy pram around the luxury property. Alongside a mirror selfie, Molly penned: 'Back from St Tropez and straight to the Cotswolds for a surprise staycation. 'This look is giving mum who's had approx 3 seconds to get ready'. Molly and Tommy fell for each other in front of the nation during series five of Love Island, going on to welcome Bambi and then get engaged in 2023. But fans were shocked when Molly announced on Instagram last August that she and Tommy had split up after five years, with many suspecting he had been unfaithful. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.' The boxer, who's the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, said the reason he and Molly ended their romance was down to his excessive drinking.

But now people are realising what the dolls look like without their fluffy exteriors. One social media user has gone viral after sharing a photo of their toy without its iconic hooded outfit and soft clothes.

The X user showed how the doll is wearing underwear with a bow under its recognisable fluffy onesie. One person wrote: 'THIS S*** LOOKS HORRENDOUS WHAT THE F***.' Another added: 'THIS IS TERRIFYING.' A third commented: 'Now why would you undress the Labubu? [It's] looking like when a man shaves off his beard and has no chin.' Many people said the worst part of the exposed doll was the three-toed, alligator-like feet. Created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, the vinyl figures are sold in £17.50 'blind boxes' — so fans do not know which version they are getting. I wasn't going to fork out for a Labubu so nabbed a budget alternative from B&M instead - it's SO much cuter too Labubus come in an array of vibrant colours, unique shapes and various sizes, spanning from plush toys to striking vinyl figures - and rare models are re-selling online for up to £1,000.

The brand made its debut in 2015, but skyrocketed in global popularity after hitting Pop Mart shelves in 2019. The first three months of 2025 were wildly successful for the brand, with Brits searching high and low to nab one of the quirky figurines.
